摘要

This paper compiles and expands upon the author’s and his co-authors’ explicit calculations of the mod p Morava K-theory for various finite p-groups, a body of work currently scattered across different publications. The primary focus is on the author’s observations regarding the properties of formal group laws and the transfer in Morava K-theory. Using specific examples, this work aims to clarify the complex issues surrounding the multiplicative structure and the representation of Gröbner bases in terms of Chern classes and their transfers. A key computational question remains: is the mod 2 Morava K-theory of any finite 2-group completely generated by Chern classes and their transfers? While this conjecture by Hopkins et al. (J Am Math Soc 13:553–594, 2000), inspired by their generalized character theory of finite p-groups, was disproven for the mod \(p>2\) p > 2 case by a counterexample in Kriz (Topology 36:1247–1273, 1997), the mod 2 case remains an open problem.
